Abu Dhabi Finance Week to hold Blockchain Summit Abu Dhabi and discuss digital assets
Abu Dhabi Finance week, running from November 27th to November 30th will be holding discussions on the future of finance that will cover topics such as payments, digital assets, cyber security, market integrity and credit. It will include The Regulators Summit, Blockchain Abu Dhabi, Risk4.0, A.I. Abu Dhabi and the 2023 Fintech Abu Dhabi Awards.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed
bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and Chairman of the
Executive Council and powered by Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), ADFW will seek
to examine the factors affecting monetary systems, technological disruptions,
financing the race to net zero, the resultant services and facilities, and the
industrial and social sectors that impact the global financial system. It will
collectively aim to collaborate on maximising the opportunities and minimising
the challenges presented within the ‘Transition Era’.
Commenting on the ADFW’s pioneering theme, His Excellency Ahmed
Jasim Al Zaabi, Member of Abu Dhabi’s Executive Council and Chairman of ADDED
and ADGM said, “We are part of an extraordinary era that is transitioning in
every aspect whether it is economic, technological advancement or climate. As
we navigate the complexities and challenges of this transformative phase, ADFW
acts as a superb platform to gather impactful decision-makers that look at
these aspects as opportunities. By investing in the transition era, ADFW stands
as a platform that is not just about adapting to change but also seizing the
opportunity that propels us towards a brighter, more prosperous future.”
